John 19:11-16

11Jesus answered him, “1You would have no authority 2over Me at all, if it had not been given to you from above; for this reason 3the one who handed Me over to you has the greater sin.” 12As a result of this, Pilate 4made efforts to release Him; but the Jews shouted, saying, “5If you release this Man, you are not a friend of Caesar; everyone who makes himself out to be a king 6opposes Caesar!”

13Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and 7sat down on the judgment seat at a place called 8The Pavement--but 9in 10Hebrew, Gabbatha. 14Now it was 11the day of preparation for the Passover; it was about the 12 13sixth hour. And he said to the Jews, “Look, 14your King!” 15So they shouted, “15Away with Him, away with Him, crucify Him!” Pilate said to them, “Shall I crucify your King?” The chief priests answered, “We have no king except Caesar.” 16So he then 16handed Him over to them to be crucified.
